Welcome to Chandler Woods Charter Academy
Cherishing the Child: The difference at our school

Walk through the halls of Chandler Woods Charter Academy for a moment and see the difference. Of course the walls are adorned with student work, and smiling, giggling children fill the rooms, but look deeper and see the real difference. Chandler Woods is a place that understands what it means to cherish the children. Look in the office as the secretary gingerly attends to the scraped knee from recess. Look as the principal patiently listens to the story about whose “fault” it is. Look outside the door of a classroom as a paraprofessional listens to a child read with a newfound confidence. Feel the heart of the child lighten as a teacher lovingly puts aside her agenda to meet the needs of right now. Feel the touch of her gentle squeeze on the child’s shoulder as if to say “You can do it, I believe in you.” Listen to the encouraging words of little ones as they apply the character qualities embedded in their daily lessons. Listen to the excitement and eagerness alive in each classroom because the child is confident enough to take a risk in learning.

Listen to the sound of success; a child unlocking their own secret to succeed. That’s the goal of everyone who commits to be a part of the Chandler Woods team. Just as a parent would build up, encourage, teach, discipline and ultimately cherish the gift of a child, so is the aim of everyone involved in positively impacting the lives of students at Chandler Woods.
